...Inevitably, a conversation will arise about almost anything: Boston politics, Harvard politics, the politics of a new stadium in Southie or the politics of a good Sox season. And the conversation will continue until you feel guilty about your productivity quotient or until he gets a call on the two-way. Dan knows everyone on sight, inside and outside the house. He comes early, stays late, and unlocks the door for you before you're within earshot of his Bostonian voice. Truly as asset to the Universty...
...have been the most expensive pizza-delivery system ever invented. Last week media giant Time Warner (TIME's parent company) announced that it was pulling the plug on its ambitious two-way cable-TV project, the Full Service Network, launched in Orlando, Fla., in 1994. At that time then ceo Gerald Levin predicted FSN would be "a medium for providing people with unprecedented access to information and entertainment." With just a remote, subscribers could scan countless TV channels, bring up movies on demand, shop at home or order a pizza...
...verbally oriented colleagues as being "self-indulgent, non-rigorous, and generally without use."

The gizmos were carried into the building four days before the raid by intelligence agents posing as government doctors there to check on the hostages' health. The devices were supplied by the cia, according to the military official, and were concealed in personal items, like books, guitars and thermos bottles, that were supposedly sent...
...true. The cult had been around for 22 years, and had seen better days. Most of its members were Web novices at best. Yet in some ways, the Web was made for groups like this. For it is not the culture of the Internet, but its utility as a two-way means of communication that attracts and connects militias, hate groups and wacky fringe movements. The profoundly American, truly revolutionary character of the Internet is fundamentally egalitarian. Everyone can take the stage online, even the nuts. But as the initial reaction to the cult's Web connection proved once again...
